Healthy people with access to the surrounding world through the Internet is a giant net positive for a country

Certainly, if that was all the public domain was, it'd be great! But it's much worse than that. It allows people to freely take and profit off the art of others without paying dividends. It allows larger companies to steal and copy designs of small, new companies and under cut them even more readily and easily than they already do.

There's plenty of downsides that you're not considering.

I don't know if you commented on the wrong thing, but I argued that medicin and Internet (and similar) should be paid by the country (taxes).
